Phoenix Wright: Justice For All

I got this game months ago for Nintendo DS, since I enjoyed the first game so much. Phoenix Wright: Justice For All is the second game in the Ace Attorney series and delivers an experience that comes very close to matching that of the first game, but ultimately falls short of accomplishing it.

The game is harder than the first, if only for the fact that the cases are lots more convoluted and “turnabout”-ish than ever before. Still, the character development is as strong as ever and Case 4, the final case in the game, is just about the finest case in the entire series to this point. Unfortunately between work, school, and other stuff it took me almost the entire year to complete the game, so it was a little difficult to keep up with the story. Nonetheless, it was awesome.

From what I have heard, Trials and Tribulations, the next game in the series, is awesome, so I am looking forward to getting started on that one sometime this holiday season.
